Synopsis

The World Wide Web, CD-ROM local area networks, and such online services as LEXUS-NEXUS have so permeated the field of library science that even the most technophobic librarians log on daily. And the new, wired breed of information specialists who have dubbed themselves "cybrarians" are setting the stage for the next millenium of librarianship. This is a basic handbook for the information professional who operates in cyberspace - that broad location that's everywhere and nowhere. It is filled with a diverse, browsable menu of items, and highlighted with lists, facts and figures. This comprehensive cybersource serves up all the essentials for cybrarians, from the vendor relationships and security to Internet humour. Drawing from authoritative sources and contributors, the handbook covers: public access to the Internet through libraries; cybrarians' tool kit; technology leaders and consultants; netword standards; HTML basics and multimedia; and client/server career paths for cybrarians. With practical explanations on technology and its applications to libraries and networked information systems, library school students and new staff should acquire the basics on how their training in cutting-edge technologies fits into a working library. Seasoned practitioners should find easy-to-understand discussions of what new technologies have in store for their libraries and their careers. Contributors to this volume include: William Britten, Judith Copler, Steve Hardin, Dan Lester, Sonia Orin Lyris, Gillian McCombs, James Powell, Barbara Quint, Louis Rosenfeld, Larry Schankman, Karen Starr, Ann Thornton, Anthony Toyofuku, Edward Valauskas, Thomas Wilson, Andrew Wohrley and Milton Wolf.
